Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man committed adultery with a woman, so by the order of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he was flogged as the prescribed punishment. Later, it was reported to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that the man was a muhsan (i.e., married), so by the order of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he was stoned to death.
